But I have to be shocked by the Japanese country's generosity.
Xie Tianyao also laughed: "Japanese love, is there really such a big ambergris in the world?"
The others also laughed non-stop.
Mizuno Masashige smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, of course it's not that big! But today, what we want to show you is how to get this ambergris out of this big fish!"
The whole place was in an uproar and excited.
Get ambergris?
People in Longyan all know what this ambergris is, but they don’t know where it comes from. In fact, in the West, it is called gray amber, which is a solid substance with a silvery gray or black appearance.
A waxy flammable substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. In other words, ambergris is actually the vomit or excrement of sperm whales. But it is such a thing, but it is extremely precious. It can be used to treat coughs
Breathing, abdominal pain and other symptoms. In addition, ambergris itself is an extremely precious spice. It has a long-lasting aroma when burned, making it the best among spices. Ambergris is extremely expensive and is known as the treasure of the sea and floating gold.
.
In ancient times, people always believed that ambergris was a hardened ocean foam or the feces of some large birds. It was not until the 19th century that some countries began to capture whales on a large scale, and it was discovered that ambergris came from sperm whales.
of.
Sperm whales feed on cephalopods, such as squid or cuttlefish. In most cases, the beaks and other indigestible parts of these foods will be spit out by the sperm whale, but in rare cases, these things will enter the whale's intestines and combine with its intestines.
Together, it slowly turns into a solid mass of ambergris, which accumulates in the sperm whale's body for many years.
Although it was once believed that the ambergris found was the vomit of sperm whales, Richard Sabin, curator of marine mammals at the Natural History Museum in London, UK, said that ambergris is most often excreted together with whale feces.
so.
It is normal for people in Longyan not to know where ambergris comes from.
Xie Tianyao asked curiously: "Ambergris comes from big fish?"
Others were also amazed.
This is the first time they have heard of this! And, where can such a big fish come from under this world! This, this, this, how heavy is this!
Have to admit it.
As soon as this Japanese delegation came on stage, they subdued the entire audience.
Mizuno Masashige laughed loudly: "Exactly! Our Japanese country has a long tradition of extracting ambergris from big fish! And this time, we encountered a once-in-a-lifetime big fish. Your Majesty, these kinds of opportunities are not
It’s nothing, but what’s more coincidental is that there happens to be about a hundred pounds of ambergris in this big fish!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
A hundred or ten pounds?
How much does that cost?
Mizuno Masashige continued: "However, when this ambergris first comes out of the big fish, it does not smell wonderful, but it will make you sick. Our Japanese country is also prepared for this and will kill the big fish.
After that, the ambergris was left in the body of the big fish, and its abdomen was cut open using a special method. The ambergris was pickled in sea water and sun-dried... Over time, the ambergris would
When it turns white, the fragrance will overflow, and it will be preserved in the belly of the fish without losing half of it! Therefore, this ambergris is undoubtedly the largest and most precious ambergris in the world!"
After saying this, the whole audience couldn't help but be stunned.
White Ambergris!
As we all know, the most precious ambergris in the world is white, and brown is the second least! White ambergris is truly priceless and cannot be measured by money!
and......
Is it such a big ambergris?
This, this, this...
How much gold and silver is this?
Liu Zheng was indeed shocked.
Good guy.
How much do you have to pay for this thing?
The whole place was in a lively discussion.
"Really or not?"
"This ambergris actually comes from the body of a big fish?"
"This is too big!"
"Hmph, you're so obsessed with it, if you have the ability to cut it open and take a look!"
Many of the missionaries were annoyed.
Mizuno Masashige smiled slightly and waved his hand.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the big fish that was covered.
The giant cloth was torn open, and a big fish that kept its teeth and claws dancing in extreme pain appeared in front of people.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
This fish is too big!
And this fish does have a big hole in its belly...
at this time.
Under the sunlight, a strange fragrance filled the air.
